A Message from the Organizing Committee

Greetings from the Organizing Committee of the 8th World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery!

The SARS-CoV19 Global Pandemic has resulted in overwhelming changes in virtually all aspects of our lives, including education and scientific meetings. As the Organizers of the 8th World Congress, we want to emphasize that, first and foremost, your safety and well- being are our primary consideration. Therefore, after much discussion and weighing all the options, given the continued global uncertainty we have decided to postpone the 8th World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery until 2023. As before, the meeting will take place in Washington DC, USA; the new dates are August 27th - September 1, 2023.

We want to thank our Executive Team, Scientific Program committee, Societal Partners, Institutional Partners, Global Event Resources, and many more who have developed the amazing congress and scientific program originally scheduled for September, 2021. We will continue to capitalize on all of this hard work, as well as incorporating new science and technology, as we plan for an even better meeting in 2023.

To this end, over the coming 2 years, we will be presenting a series of virtual webinars and other complementary events highlighting portions of the current 2021 scientific program. For details on these courses, click here to join our mailing list.

Stay tuned for details, and see you in DC in 2023!
